We
are the People that are FREE! |

Passage people are
those that have been met at anchorages or marinas or beaches
or whatever along the way. They are featured perhaps because
they are unique and special or because they are not, rather because
they are just typical examples but of an extraordinary group.
By being cruising boaties, all of these people have stepped off
the well trod path and done something exceptional with their
lives. |

“X
Tra Chilli”
Iain & Cheryl have just launched their new Cat. They impressed
me as knowledgeable and discriminating sailors and having put
up with an interview from me, its safe to say they have a sense
of humor as well! (see feature page 19) CONGRATULATION FROM TCP!

“LEAH”
Peter the poet from “Leah” (the Hawaiian name for sombrero?...or
was that a Mexican celebrating the football result?). Back in
the “Whits” again after a working vacation away from
his favourite haunts. Poetry in motion, Pete?

“Quoll
II”
Tim & Trish are originally W.A. Sailors, but have been on
the Coral Coast for a while now, alternating between jobs in
Gladstone and the big blue. The boys, David & Matthew seem
to adapt just fine to life on the Cat. Wouldn’t kid though?

“Tamika”
We met Harry & Felicia several years ago on the way north
(as you do). Harry has been sailing the coast for quite a while
and has taught Felicia the proper way to do it, no doubt. We
don’t pass up a Sundowner on Tamika, good wine and good
company.
Cheers

“Slow Rush”
Another Family boat! Ken & Judy have a new baby, Milli, just
4 weeks old when we caught up with them. Gray & Lucy’s
new sister joined them sailing within 4 days of birth. What a
wonderful way to start life!

“Skinny Legs”
Luke is an M.D. & Niki works with acupuncture & Chinese
herbal medicine, which makes them a remarkable couple. They have
a 16 month old baby daughter, Evi cruising with them, that’s
remarkable as well, but the fact that they are doing it in a
Crowther Twiggy is amazing!
